They're eager, often staying for 40 minutes after three-hour practices for more hitting or taking a ball home to practice. But it will take time to learn the game. Sturges had just 15 practice days with her players before the first match. ``They're confident in practice, but it hasn't carried over into games,'' Sturges said. ``There's an insecurity about the game.
